Submitted by Peter A Jordan – Deadline to sign up by: 01 October 2007 – Signatures: 53
More details from petition creator
If motorcycles were invented now, no sane government would allow them to be used. Unprotected bodies, travelling at legal speeds up to 70mph, on a 2-wheeled vehicle which can be upset by a wet manhole - any official would reject this idea out of hand. The only reason we allow motorcycles is that they have been around for more than a century and we have all got used to them.
Motorbikes are dangerous to all road users, are frequently driven recklessly, and cause a disproportionate number of deaths and serious injuries. Their removal would benefit averyone.
